Description
Technical field
The invention of this theme relates generally to industrial control system, more specifically, relates to the configurable human-machine interface function based on module type and user, thereby wherein module provides the abstract interface of logic and resource to get the execution action.
Background technology
In history, industrial control unit (ICU) has run in a plurality of controllers and the plant network that relevant I/O module communicates.The frequent server with high-end computing system or slave controller aggregate data of these low side control elements communicates, and helps the daily behavior of management enterprise.Yet, when becoming, system becomes increasingly complex, and the communication of inter-module and function cooperation also become a kind of challenge.For example, when the user when one or more seller buys a plurality of product there, between such product, often have the ability and the consistance of limited collaborative work.Then, how interactional the product and the assembly of their uniquenesses of software and control engineering Shi Bixu study are.Limited product and the consistance of assembly hint, the slip-stick artist who has learnt a kind of product needn't continue other execution.Usually, control is used those difficult different interfaces of feasible mapping with application system; Those are understood personnel's shortage that qualification is arranged of hardware and software environment and require high salary simultaneously.
Often, integrated (especially produce and automatic system) of product too complicated and difficulty and can not being managed too.Execution and control engineering teacher can't encode and dispose each assembly of their solution under the prerequisite of not understanding other system component.In addition, can not be provided for user/integrator's clear and appreciation information but the Initiated Mechanism of system is abundant inadequately usually.In an example, the user specifies a streamline production system with control and software systems assembly.Because the complicacy of connected system and the uncertainty how system will carry out are considered long-term oblique rising (ramp-up) and integrated, research and development (customization) and integrated appropriate litigation fees costliness.During control system was integrated, when streamline starts and oblique rising (ramp-up) when being delayed, this cost for control system had significant effects.The system integration ability of more expected process and less complicacy will reduce these costs.
Another problem of current control solution is that current the paying close attention to of user implemented and complicated logic rather than production solution easily.How basic ins and outs have become a main worry, the value of not paying close attention to procedural information (consideration of application layer) and being exchanged from the slip-stick artist of multiple environment wherein, and usually be that they pay close attention to " " rather than " what ".For example, the user can determine to make the manual aspect robotization of their factory.But this design can start from the high-end demand that becomes a series of about the NOT-function type soon, DCOM for example, TCP, the discussion of affairs rate or the like.Though it is important that these NOT-function types require, the design that functional form requires is that true value is where concerning deviser and terminal user.Therefore, the user be ready to pay close attention to the functional form requirement (device control, the product current control, and or the like), it provides the direct improvement on the value rather than handles too much technical matters.
In another example, system design fully is not implemented in overhead burden (overhead burden) (storage overlay area and cpu cycle or the like are similar) and uses balance between coupling.For example, according to system capability, handling load should be distributed in the system better.Therefore, if the part of system close, thereby interchangeable processing power is produced ready permission and is continued.For example, user's initial designs and installation are fit to the control system of their needs immediately.Then, the variation that increases progressively is applied on the controller, and often new interface function is added to the man-machine interface (HMI) that is used for such controller.Yet present solution can not help being used for level and smooth and affairs non-complex separately.A plurality of technical sophistication changes under a plurality of seller's products the configuration and the management of system.When the third party system was added into, this situation was also increased the weight of.This complicacy has hindered the ability that high client information is provided of system, and has weakened the ability that is easy to dispose such system.
Summary of the invention
To understand in order providing, to have provided simple general introduction below for the basis of aspects more as described herein.This general introduction is not a big summary, neither be in order to indicate key/core parts or to go to portray the scope of various aspects described here.Its sole purpose is to explain that with simple mode some notions are as an introduction more describing expressed to the back.
Configurable and mutual man-machine interface (HMI) assembly of logic module are provided, based on user's type and/or easily module application type and provide variable interface capability to the user for the user.The HMI assembly with provide the module of the logical interdependency of one or more resource to carry out alternately, the assembly or the system state of an action of wherein said logic control state of resources, resources definition execution.Module allows the user away from the internal interface specific to resource, information and logic, however provide standard and general interface to external system.
The HMI assembly is variable and matching module is used, thereby provides those to pay close attention to the experience of user's current task and system state more.For example, based on user's type and the desired operation of user's possibility, visual display and interface input can change.These comprise, the total interface of developer's view display module, logic and data; Interested Management Unit when configuration view is presented at configuration-system; Active user and administration view are used for debugging and maintenance application; One and resource/logical view be used for the design and the management of control system or enterprise.By transforming and focus on HMI on the current needs of user and application and can being performed by effective and efficient manner more alternately of system, therefore reduced the overall overhead of system.

It should be noted that in this is used employed, such as " assembly ", " resource ", " module ", " model " and or the like the purpose of term be to point out to be used for the relevant entity of computing machine of Industry Control automatic system, perhaps hardware, the combination of hardware and software, software perhaps is performed software.For example, assembly can be, is to run on the process on the processor, processor, object, executable operation dispatching unit, program and computing machine but be not limited to.As explanation, the application and service device that operates on the server can be used as assembly.One or more assembly can reside in the process and/or in the execution thread, and assembly can be positioned on the computing machine and/or be distributed in two or more computing machines, industrial control unit (ICU), and/or between the module that communicates therewith.
At first, with reference to Fig. 1, system's 100 explanation module assemblies 110 (after this being cited) and be used for the interface of industrial automation system as module.Module 110 is used to definition interfaces, carries out the function of one or more industrial control system assembly 120, and this function will be done in the back in further detail and describe.Such just as explained above, module 110 can Be Controlled assembly 120 visits by network 114.Network 114 also allows online access module 110 and their Control Components 120 separately, and also can adopt offline mode such as Computer Database (not being shown) creation module 110.When by offline created the time, module 110 can then be downloaded to be used for the execution on the Control Component 120.Module 110 can be by man-machine interface (HMI) assembly 124 (below will describe) and customer contacts, and/or can be configured to carry out alternately with a plurality of other modules 110 or Control Component 120.
In general, module 110 is the associations between one or more resource 140 and the logical one 30.Logical one 30 comprises the program code of the state that can change resource 140, for example, trapezoidal code, functional diagram, script, JAVA, the C code, or the like.Resource 140 is those assembly or elements of carrying out action in system, is included in the equipment and the personnel of execution work in the system.Other example of the type of resource 140 comprises equipment, material, personnel, figure section and storer.Personnel and equipment (machine) can be carried out action in system.Resource that can execution work can be classified as initiatively resource (for example, CNC machine, injection-molded), yet the miscellaneous equipment resource can be considered to by passive resource (for example, sensor, material).Module class and template can be maintained in the storehouse, and it helps the visit of desired systemic-function and further promotes the system integration.Resource 140 can have various relevant states, comprises idlely such as public S88 state class, takies, and abandons, and operation is reset, and stops, restarting and or the like, wherein module 110 can provide the state machine of logical one 30 with expression management resource 140 states.
The example of module 110 can be considered the real-time item in automated system 100, typically, for example can be in organize views, viewed in geographic view or the asset management view.In general, HMI assembly 124 is fit to provide the desired view of module 110, depends on user's type or application that the quilt that determined by application component 150 comprises.Application component 150 determines the application-specific that character types or decision user have selected for the user, and changes " view " or the display of presenting to the user, and wherein display provides one or more and uses relevant display object 160.Adaptivity comprises, according to user's role or type and/or application, and input 170 that self-adaptation can be used or the options that can use HMI assembly 124.For example, user's role can be determined from database, and when the user logined, the role was determined by the table in the database.In other example, the user can have multiple role, comprise design, management, safeguard etc. that it can determine by the directly input from the user, (for example perhaps infers from task on hand, use input and select the definition role, thereby use the decision role) such as the intelligent assembly monitoring of sorter.
Thereby HMI assembly 124 matching modules 110 provide a kind of experience of paying close attention to the state of user's current task and system 100 more.For example, display object 160 or interface are imported 170 operations that can may expect based on user's type or user and are changed.These comprise developer's view, and it fully shows all interfaces, the data of logic and module; Configuration view, interested managent component when it is presented at configuration-system; The real-time client and the administration view of design that is used to use and maintenance; And other is used to design the resource/logical view with management control system or enterprise 100.By with HMI assembly 124 coupling be positioned the current needs of user or application, by application component 150, can take effective and efficient manner more to carry out mutual with system, thereby reduce the overall overhead of system.
Except various hardware and/or component software, thus various interface 124 can be provided operational module 110 and following will describe organize data module, wherein various examples will be explained below in further detail.This can comprise graphic user interface (GUI) so that and other assembly in module 110 or the hierarchy carry out alternately, other assemblies can be to send, retrieval, handle, and/or operation factory or business data, receive, show, format and/or communicating data, and/or any type of application of promotion system 100 operations.For example, such interface 124 also can with engine, server, the client, edit tool or web browser are relevant, although the application of other type can be used.
GUI can comprise the display with one or more display object that is used for operational module 110, comprise as configure icons button, sliding shoe, input frame, options, menu, label etc. have multiple configurable latitude, shape, color, text, the aspect of data and sound is so that the operation of promotion and module.In addition, GUI also can comprise a plurality of other inputs 170 or the input 170 that is used to adjust and dispose one or more aspect.This can comprise reception from mouse, keyboard, and phonetic entry, the website, the user instruction of telecommunication network service or other such as camera or video input is so that influence or revise the operation of GUI.
Before carrying out, it should be noted that assembly 120 can comprise various computing machines or networking component, server for example, client, programmable logic controller (PLC) (PLC), communication module, mobile computer, wireless module, Control Component etc., it can be undertaken by network 114 alternately.Similarly, the term PLC that is used here can comprise that those can be at a plurality of assemblies, system and or network 114 on the function shared.For example, one or more PLC can communicate with various network device and cooperates by network 114.This can fully comprise the control of any kind, communication module, and computing machine, I/O equipment, sensor, by the man-machine interface (HMI) that network 114 communicates, described network comprises control, robotization, and/or public network.PLC also can communicate and control these equipment with various various miscellaneous equipments as input/output module, and input/output module comprises simulation, numeral, programming/intelligent I/O module, other Programmable Logic Controller, communication module, sensor, output device and analog.
Network 114 can comprise public network, Intel's net for example, Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) and such as the automated network of the control information protocol network that comprises DeviceNet and ControlNet.Other network comprises Ethernet, DH/DH+, remote I/O, Fieldus, Modbus, Profibus, wireless network, serial protocol etc.In addition, the network equipment can comprise various possibilities (hardware and/or component software).These comprise assembly, as have the switch of Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) ability, LAN, WAN, agency, gateway, router, fire wall, virtual proprietary network (VPN) equipment, server, client, computing machine, configuration tool, monitoring tools, and/or other equipment.
Referring now to Fig. 2, will explanation module attribute 200.Attribute 200 described in Fig. 2 comprises public (demonstration) expression that can be modeled from module.Usually, can be confirmed as all modules be public for standard attribute set.Similarly, concerning the following other types module that will describe, can define extra standard attribute.An example of available attribute 210 on module comprises as the mistake on 214 and the attribute of state.Initiatively resource module can be supported as available/disabled additional attribute 210.
The following attribute that proposes will be in the middle object of public data module (seeing Fig. 8-11) or the association of the object module on other positions (for example, cad file) to expressing possibility.On 220, can provide the standard common interface.These interfaces 220 announce may to external system can with and be hide the complicacy of carrying out the basic code of using at the interface with the verb 224 of document as the behavior of foundation.Interface 220 can be taken into account in two public scenes at least.For example, interface 220 can be used as the entrance, and it can be used in real-time diagnosis, the on-hook in the safety etc.
Action in public verb 224 initialization modules.To the client at interface 220 described action is described.Execution is considered privately owned and does not present-for example, open to client, stops, and abandons, and closes or the like.Data value attribute 210 provides the public visit to information, and described information is used and is provided by value request and/or intermediate value (perhaps equivalent) in its operating period by module.The transmission requests value is to intermediate value, and the logic association that vice versa is introduced into for described value and obtains or be provided with logic.It should be noted that in controller if the neither one fixed goes the transmission requests value to intermediate value, intermediate value can be carried out the rewriting of value request in the ensuing scanning that read-only ability is provided so.
Usually, attribute 210 can be taken into account in two classification at least.State has special importance and can have specific value collection for production system, and it can be represented as scope or enumerate.State can be represented by the current state of the source material of module package, for example opens number percent (Percent open), pattern, professional (advance, go out) etc.The employed information of module comprises the data that visit is provided by interface 220 in module operation, for example conversion mapping, and name is described due date, individual exercise information.Some attributes 210 can public to all examples of resource module (for example, the scanned copy of Resource Desc document), yet other attributes 210 are specific for each module example (for example, state is opened number percent (percent open)).
On 230, the internal resource interface comprises the interface of the resource of being managed on the logic 240 to 250 from module, and wherein logic comprises the code and/or the configuration of processing command and/or update mode and data attribute.In some cases, this can be such as the hardware at I/O interface or in other examples, and it will be the subordinate's resource control module with direct interface.Some examples comprise I/O mapping, store keeping logic routine program etc.Thereby these interfaces 230 make module realize that public interface 230 and attribute 210 can be positioned at the border of other system assembly in the middle of module.The packing different resource still supports that the module at identical public attribute/interface can be exchanged under the situation of leaving the interface that is used for other assemblies alone.Usually, I/O mapping and system management interface revealed come out in disposing binding procedure.Then, in the time of binding, can think that to the outer interface 220 of run-time system these interfaces are inner.
On 260, will provide and report to the police and event message, the term of execution that being included in module, it is disclosed as the visible runtime message of external system.This comprises by the developer is understood the warning and the incident of coding and is impelled with for the visible system message of external system.On 270, one or more product (artifact) comprises the running of announcing resource and the information of structure, for example, and wiring diagram, declaration form, payroll, regional supplier's information or the like.Visual aspect comprises to carrying out the relational graph that state and attribute are represented in mutual application with resource.For example: panel, icon, state is overlapping, editing dialog, help file.On 280, system message allows module to go to listen attentively to and to external module publish data model message.Inbound messages typically is used to administration module (configuration, initialization, propagation property etc.) and publish the news (resource status, data model message etc.) in the module action.
Turn to Fig. 3, module 300 ground demonstration HMI developer view will be explained.In this example, the inside of three interconnect modules " module developer " view will be explained on 300.Just as desired, more than or be less than three module and can be displayed in the given view according to application.Usually, the developer of module can see module, and correlative code and being used for provides the building site, inside of the data of module behavior.It should be noted that resource I/O and logic are knockdown, and available being used to switch between internal resource, and do not change code.For example, can the change value under the situation that does not change the correlation steering logic on 310,320, therefore avoid being used for the request of coming into force again of logic.Developer's view can show all fronts various attributes as described in Figure 2, attribute for example, interface, order, verb, message etc.
The example of the HMI development management device view of Fig. 4 explanation module 400.During block configuration, the inside modules interface is bundled on system management and the I/O interface.During block configuration, the interface of inside modules is bound on system message and the I/O interface.Therefore, the supvr can solve again internally with the needed interface of proper handling module externally and be connected.In the system that comes into force, thereby the logic module of module and some configuration datas may be guaranteed that module keeps its effective configuration by locking.Then, the process of configuration comes into force and carry out interrelated (note: masterplate always is not used in the exploitation) with masterplate and/or the example created from masterplate.
The view of the module that is presented in the configuration scene is suggested on 400.During disposing, the attribute relevant with module is bound on the system component.For example, the HMI screen is bundled on the view server, and module is bound on (being downloaded to) controller, and the equipment I/O on module is mapped on the resource I/O in the control module.In some examples, other system will detect the existence of additional capabilities.As shown in since these aspects were configured between development stage, logic and resource will be hidden from view on 410-430 so, come out and will be used by the supvr yet each module interfaces that is used to dispose (input and output of module) is revealed.In this way, the supvr can find and next the associated component of link block so that the specific application of configuration from module.Usually, as a rule, do not make module be used for producing immediately, but configuration cycle release module in production system, just can be used for production system.In dispose procedure and after discharging, outside system can merge module or a plurality of module in their systems separately.
The exemplary runtime client view of Fig. 5 explanation module 500." runtime client " view of interprets external on 500.In an example, the runtime client finds the black case of representation module.This expression comprises: have the semantic public interface of clear definition; Can be used to the public attribute of configure module and reporting modules state; And alarm and the event message issued by module.Such just as explained above, the building site, inside of module is not revealed, and wherein only has the function of module to be revealed, for example in these examples, and solenoid valve gate control 510, big valve control 520, and mobile material control 530.
As above-mentioned, the interface of a plurality of different views and announcement is according to the user's or the type of using and available.These comprise the supvr, developer, deviser, service engineer, user, manager or the like.For example, system diagnostics is carried out with the attribute that management is used with employed module is relevant in various scene set alternately.The state of module can be present in to produce and carry out in the view, yet safeguards that view can present, and for example CAD schemes, I/O wiring diagram and the message logging relevant with module.In these views, the association of the ensemble of communication that is presented is determined that by the production/application of expression information these information are relevant with the relation of the user who is determined and they and application-specific conversely.
Just as desired, module can take multiple different angles to be presented out.The example of these angles is device views to the process logic view of control module and material to being used for the material processed logic of control of material module.The selection of view can be to depend on configuration or manage the user of this process.Process engineering teacher who participates in the management steering logic in factory or enterprise-wide can utilize the control module that focuses on control desk, yet the service engineer may more be ready to select the device view of identical systems.
In the control module centre view, process engineering teacher can navigate to from the control module masterplate in the example in the organize models, proceeds to then on the exploitation example of Programmable Logic Controller.They can take opposite direction to navigate similarly, for example navigate on the control module masterplate from example or the example the organize models that launches.By these navigation, will under the steering logic of module, provide consistent view.
Take similar mode, the service engineer can be by Physical View or perhaps by an asset management view identical control system of navigating.In this case, the service engineer does not pay close attention to steering logic, but perhaps is interested in the current state of using the HMI terminal to remove to check an equipment.Therefore, in maintaining navigation, people may not " see " or be disclosed under any steering logic, but determine to have ability go to pack into panel or remove the various attributes and the product (artifacts) of the equipment of seeing.
Fig. 6-11 explains the various aspects that HMI represents.Before carrying out, it should be noted that data as described herein can than directed label or scalar data value more widen.When the interface based on label data was employed in the application of processing controller and OPC data, the system of higher level often required mutual based on complex message more.Since the public data model module can be developed, in interface separately, provide extra option so in the wide spectrum of factory application.Therefore, the user can select the definition module interface, based on one or more following Example:
Data-be by label and/or be used for the traditional mechanism of module of the OLE access controller of process control (OPC) based on the interface of data.Many users adopt this method exploitation to be used for the module of device control.Interface based on data comprises as input or output and exterior visual or not visible attribute.These attributes have messenger service to explain so that promote the mutual of module.
Message-message based interface is public in software module so that promote mutual on higher level.Described definition comprises that message sends and the load of reception and each message.In this way, message comprises complicated more data, and it is transmitted as a unit.Again, have configuration attribute on the message based interface, it allows messenger service to go to transmit and the described message of route.Method is the specific example that implies the message of request example in the method exchange.Method can have input and output parameter (once more to the messenger service prompting), and other data are returned from receiver module so that these data are sent to receiver module.Incident is another specific example of message, and its reminder-data is typically known seldom the affairs that it received or complete ignorant module is carried out data broadcasting from one.The definition of broadcast event has provided indication to messenger service with regard to how going transmitting message.
Fig. 6 explains the exemplary interface 600 based on data.Module interfaces based on data seems similar with the defined type of user, and the slip-stick artist takes the type to go to carry out alternately with module.Order, state value is reported to the police, and the incident of module is according to such as boolean (position), integer, real number and be defined as the scalar data value of the string shown on 610.Module logic on 610 is provided to analyze these data and then according to them execution algorithm or action.
Fig. 7 explains exemplary message based interface 700.Defined interface is similar in message based module interfaces and the Object oriented programming.The deviser defines one group and sends to the message of module (method) and the message that is sent by module (incident).Each message can comprise one group of parameter that is designated as the input or the output of message.Then, the designated module logic in case in conjunction with it algorithm execution and go response and send these message.For example, message based interface 700 is shown, and wherein the attribute as [out] on [in] and 720 on 710 implies business function, yet the logic on 730 shows the communication by such message.
Fig. 8 explains demonstration class 800, and it can utilize man-machine interface as described herein and be used.Public data model (following be described according to Figure 14-17) is provided for a flexible framework at module definition interface, also has the acquiescence class group of data.These classes 800 can provide which application of machine-processed configure can visit data and they how to carry out alternately with it.For example, data can be in the module input (writing) or from the output (read-only) of module.Data can be by operator's display and accessed, accessed plannedly or two kinds all can.Be provided for the default access and the interactive strategy of each class 800, go Adjustment System so that satisfy particular demands but the user also disposes them.Next be that some can adopted exemplary class 800.
On 810, the operator is from HMI, and MES uses, and perhaps planned software sends a command to module and goes inquiry will do and so on object.These are the inputs to module, and it requires it to carry out some actions.These can take the form of the scalar data value that will be write out, as the method (parameter) that will be activated, the perhaps message that will be sent out (having load).Some users also want order is divided into operator command and planned order.This interpolation by independent class 800 is supported.On 820, status data is represented the actual state or the state (usually) of control module class.Visit to the read states data is all effective to all application usually.Can the configuration status data go to comprise desired value, the state that its indicated object is desired.This makes the user go to follow the tracks of the target with respect to virtual condition.
On 830, class 800 can comprise the alarm process that expression typically requires the operator to note, the alarm of the appearance of equipment or system event.Alarm comprises whether follow the trail of alarm is known.Typically, when process has turned back to normal and operator when having known this alarm, alarm is removed.In addition, perhaps the mechanism of compacting alarm under the particular procedure situation or in the maintenance activity, be included as this sector of breakdown.840, the appearance of representations of events normal process, it does not typically require operator's attention.These may be diagnosis, follow the trail of material consumption, perhaps the audit trail incident of being signaled by module.
On 850, adopt configuration data to go to set up each feature of module, the scope of setting is removed matching process, and other static configuration data perhaps are provided.The slip-stick artist unit, original unit, other conversion factors, tuning constant, and other can be used as configuration data and the similar item that is provided.These are typically visited by programming software or the senior panel on HMI (passing through the authorized person).On 860, outside arrive the link that I/O module and territory I/O are ordered for module definition.With reference to other objects, the perhaps external data that requires of other modules, this outside that also can be included in I/O module health status value connects.Typically, configuration or programming outside in controller, and can be not by HMI, planned control, perhaps the MES application is visited.870, interlocking is to determine not start or the condition of start-up control.May need to monitor specific safety or process condition, and if be triggered, the module logic will the maintenance safe state.Interlocking also can be that the external condition of module is carried out the needs that move to satisfy.Thereby interlocking can comprise or not comprise bypass and allow the operator to remove operational module, even under the situation that interlocking exists.
Fig. 9 explains exemplary interface scenario.Module interfaces is applied on all module objects usually according to the definition of data class.That is to say, according to order, state is reported to the police, incident and or the like supported and define predefined interface.Similarly, those identical mechanism are adopted in the interface definition that is used for module class; And pattern continues on for module masterplate and example.
In the example 900 that the user has defined, on 914, two one of module class are used for frequency mixer 910 and one and are used for accumulator groove, on 920, the deviser selects to support to be used for the predefined interface of device control of these classes, and also adds the predefined interface of storer to groove.Since these module class are support equipment control interface all, resulting module masterplate is also supported that interface.Since behavior is only stipulated at predefined interface, there is not logic to go to coordinate so, therefore, the interface of resulting module template is similar to the boundary element of the module class that realizes from it.Interface 930 shows how this can present the user.
On the other hand, since the interface of module definition is made up attentively and encapsulates, the chance of interface generation module document from it will be provided so, as shown on 940.This can take the form of simple printing report, but along with the development of technical literature to standardization and open format, more next the proposition of high value can generate the reusable document relevant with module itself.For example, the word application document of taking the XML form that can use editing machine or be provided by the business software merchant.Since artifacts is relevant with common data objects, these interface descriptions can be module class so, and masterplate or example generate.
Figure 10 explains exemplary HMI panel.Because the definition of the interface of module class or masterplate promotes on data or message layer the consistent of module to be handled, so the HMI panel provides mechanism mutual with the unification that is used for the control system operator.Usually, in the definition of interface, slip-stick artist user has disposed data class (for example, order, state, warning, incident) and has been provided for those visualization of data and accessibility rule.Be used to develop the data available of HMI panel so can be limited by the definition at interface.
In its simple form, the mandate that is used for the HMI panel of module class or masterplate comprises that creating set of diagrams shape shows, stops them on the defined data in module interfaces, and definition navigation between these show.To the example of two state values on 1000, various HMI panel figures can be used.In this example, if the icon panel is used on the display of higher level, the operator can navigate to summary panel 1000 from icon so.Similarly, the operator can use configuration ... thus the button access configuration panel 1020 on 1010 on summary panel 1000.Since the process in that panel 1000 is authorized is bound in the data in the screen on the interface of module, identical HMI panel can be used to each example of module.When extra being presented among the HMI is created, only the module example need be cited and system determines suitable panel based on the interface of module.Here there is not extra desired data binding.In addition, because HMI panel 1000 is based on the interface definition of module, the change of interface (for example, the name of state value) is reflected in the HMI coding.That is to say, the user's manual HMI of renewal panel of need not having to; System automation is handled it.As shown in, on 1030, can provide various icons.
Figure 11 explains the method that is used to generate default panel.By based on definition generates default HMI panel as the module interfaces shown on 1100, the public data model system can provide extra value.Since the definition of the various data class in module interfaces is known by system, it can generate suitable panel.That is to say, can require button (perhaps other detents) to the order of module, state value is shown, and reports to the police and is shown and generally requires an ACK button, and Configuration Values will be read out and write, or the like.Therefore, system can robotization generate these default panels, and HMI author directly or more may adopt it as the starting point of creating other specific screens.
Figure 12 explains the module interfaces process 1200 that is used for industrial automation system.Yet, in order to simplify the purpose of explanation, methodology is shown and is described as a series of actions, what need be understood and appreciated that is that the order that this method is not moved limits because some actions may take different occur in sequence and/or with here shown in occur simultaneously with described other actions.For example, what the technician in those described fields will be appreciated that and note is that interchangeablely, method will be represented as a series of interrelated ground state or incident, for example in state table.Further, do not require that the action shown in all goes to carry out method as described herein.
Proceed to 1210 of Figure 12, be one or more resource of module definition.These can comprise equipment, personnel, and figure section, storer, computing machine, control assets etc., they are defined so that carry out action and work in system.On 1220, the module logic is defined.This comprises the code (perhaps hardware) of defined action in the control 1210.Such code can be to comprise the higher level of structured programming language and generally be comprised in the module not seen.As noted earlier, what be worth expectation is to take general mode that the function of module is disclosed out and the internal work details that reduces the module that comprises each logic.Yet, can disclose module details (for example, deviser) according to user's type.On 1230, one or more standard or general interface is that module defines.It is high level abstract rather than point to the special interface of specific products that this is included as interface definition.
On 1240, determine the type of user or application.For example, if user capture Module Design menu, the interface of display module individual detail is shown so.If the supvr will browse the operation of factory, so in the secret more details of hiding such as the block code logic, can be revealed come out or be highlighted to show such as the high level details of functions of modules.As previously mentioned, can be a plurality of dissimilar users or application definition user type, for example, wherein such judgement can be inferred out from user profile or be checked out.On 1250, at the type of determined user on 1240 or application and mate and generate the interface.Because have a plurality of dissimilar users or application, will generate a plurality of interfaces, each interface display or hide wherein, the user of depending on 1240 to be determined or the type of application.
Figure 13-16 explains the aspect of generic data model noted earlier.Turn to Figure 13 now, will explain that hierarchy represents, thereby it is in conjunction with the use that is employed the data model that promotes hierarchyization by the employed chart of programmable logic controller (PLC) together.The hierarchy of being explained among this figure relates to the equipment hierarchy, thus its can with the powerful expression (it is merged to be used in conjunction with industrial control unit (ICU) in icon) of the mutually integrated generation of process hierarchy factory.First hierarchy 1300 is explained in factory, supposes in the complete various process expression of equipment.For example, the hierarchy according to batch process can comprise enterprise, website, zone, process unit, unit, the expression of EM equipment module and control module.
On the contrary, the equipment layer representation in continuous process can comprise enterprise, website, zone, productive unit, sequential cells, the expression of EM equipment module and control module.In further detail, enterprise can be with representing the whole of company, website can be represented specific factory, the part of factory can be represented in the zone, and process unit can be with comprising the equipment that is used to complete process, and the unit can relate to the machine assembly in process unit, unit can comprise the logical expressions of process unit part, and control module can comprise primary element, for example motor, electron tube and analog.Further, EM equipment module can comprise that EM equipment module and control module can comprise control module.Therefore, as being seen from figure, four diverse hierarchies are represented to be employed so that be illustrated in batch process, continuous process, the equipment in departure process and the goods catalogue.
Second layer aggregated(particle) structure 1302 can be used, and it represents in the layer representation noted earlier each.Hierarchical structure 1302 can comprise enterprise, website, zone, work centre, working cell, EM equipment module, and the expression of control module.Therefore, can generate public expression, it is representational level structure 1300 suitably.For the technical term of unanimity, data object can be correlated with their metadata relevant with which type procedure of indication.Therefore, can provide data object to the operator, take with such process in the corresponding to form of common use.For example, batch operation person can utilize the continuous process operation symbol of different technical terms rather than (as by shown in the hierarchical structure 1300).
Can use metadata, use, realize the demonstration of these data according to the known routine of these data.Therefore, the realization according to the chart of hierarchical structure 1302 is seamless for the operator.Further, in another example, only there is the expression of such part being used in the employed chart by controller.For example, the module in collator module and the control controller may be desirable.In another example, can be that the data object that will represent work centre and working cell is included in (but not being EM equipment module or control module) in the controller.The purpose of the theme affairs that proposed is to encapsulate all such deviations of the employing hierarchical structure 1302 (perhaps similar hierarchical structure) in the controller.
With reference to Figure 14, will explain the type formation aggregated(particle) structure that will be used to expression process and equipment.Especially, hierarchical structure 1400 expressions are present in the program in batch process.For example, program can relate to high level program, for example the creation of medicine.Unit program can be more concrete, adds particular chemicals in potpourri such as discrete cell.Unit operations can be still more concrete, and the stage still can be more concrete (relating to the operation of two-stage machine).For example, the stage can relate to the various states that can exist, and according to low side devices, for example, stops, and beginning suspends motor, and the opening and closing value waits analog.Relate to the hierarchical structure 1402 that equipment is represented, for example the equipment in batch process is shown by adjacent layers aggregated(particle) structure 1400.
Turn to Figure 15, possible integrated of of the hierarchical structure 1400 and 1402 (Figure 14) that hierarchical structure 1500 expression is demonstrated.Unit (for example working cell described in Figure 13), can and device program, unit program, operation of equipment, and the equipment stage is relevant.Therefore, program, operation, the stage can be relevant with specific working cell).EM equipment module can be relevant with one or more equipment stage, and on the control module of hierarchical structure.Turn to Figure 16 briefly, will control and use hierarchical structure 1600 by bonding apparatus.Fully similar described in described hierarchical structure and the unit ground cell mesh.As stated before, the hierarchical structure of being explained among Figure 13-16 is based on standard, for example ISA88, ISA95 or other standards.Yet, anyly suitable can be used to the whole expression of modeling engineering, be considered.Further, the expression shown in these figure can directly apply in the controller.For example, according to any part of the hierarchical structure described in Figure 13-16, data object is present in the controller with the state machine of realizing these Object Creations.
